Methods and systems for processing television signals are disclosed
herein, and may comprise communicating analog and digital intermediate
frequency (IF) signals via a single processing path that couples a TV
radio frequency (RF) tuner to an IF demodulator and/or to a decoder, that
processes said analog and digital IF signals. The analog and digital IF
signals may be filtered via a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter, for
example. The filtered analog and digital IF signals may be amplified. The
amplified filtered analog and digital IF signals may be received. The
amplified filtered analog and digital IF signals may be IF demodulated by
the IF demodulator to generate an IF demodulated output signal. An audio
portion of the IF demodulated output signal may be decoded via a BTSC
decoder, for example.
